​Hi Friends!
 

I hope you are all happy and healthy and enjoying the late summer. I tried to schedule an early summer set of classes but in hindsight, I'm glad it didn't work out. With the crazy heat, July was brutal in the studio. The weather is breaking a bit and I'm looking forward to some cool nights in September for our next set of classes.

​

I have been catching up on a whole bunch of new work commission projects. Check out my Instagram page for some of my newest...and follow my page if you will...it helps get the word out!

My next set of classes will begin the week of September 8th and once again, I am limiting all class sizes to six students so we maintain some distancing and I can give students extra attention. And as in the past few years, our studio building still has a vaccine mandate for anyone coming into the studio for classes or glass blowing, so please make sure you are up to date! And unfortunately, I need to do a modest price increase. Some of our tools and materials are from outside the US...so tariffs are here.

​

​I will again offer a Beginner I ~ Intro to Stained Glass (SOLD OUT) class on Monday and Thursday nights. It's the best class to reinforce your skills if you have only taken one or two classes. We will limit the number of pieces in your project to 18 pieces so you will be able to finish...and I'm going to be stricter in limiting the complexity and number of pieces this session.

​​

Tuesday night will offer the return of  Beginner IP ~ Intro to Photo Imaging on Stained Glass. This is one of my most popular classes and gives the students an opportunity to decorate the glass with photos, text or complex decorative patterns. It’s a great class for students who have already taken my Beginner I ~ Intro to Stained Glass class and are ready to take a step up. I will jury acceptance into the class because we won’t be doing any basic instruction on cutting or the other fabrication skills.

​

Wednesday night's  Beginner MM ~ Makers Mayhem class will require a bit of experience so it will be open only to students who have taken several classes from me. I will pull out lots of non-traditional materials for students to use; chandelier prisms, found glass objects, remnants of old church windows and whatever crazy glass stuff I have collected over the years. It's a really fun way to create something completely unique in the stained glass world. Students in the Makers Mayhem class can use any of the techniques they have used in previous projects including fusing and photo imaging.

​

I look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming newbies into the stained glass adventure!
